Reborn in Hong Kong as a Tycoon

Chapter 359 Inspection of American Companies ([-])

The day after the party, Lin Baicheng first went to the temporary office of Galaxy Semiconductor, chatted with Ganus Wilson, and asked him to take someone to take over the four factories acquired from Texas Instruments to ensure a smooth handover of the factories.

After that, Lin Baicheng went to the nearby New Century Software Company.

Isabella is the manager of New Century Software, so she is with the company.

When he arrived at New Century Software Company, Lin Baicheng asked Isabella to take him around the company to let all employees know that he is the big boss of the company.Although it has only been about a month since he left Los Angeles, the company has recruited many new employees. These new employees have never met the boss Lin Baicheng.

Lin Baicheng will chat with the new employees who are at the supervisor level, and the low-level employees will only chat with a few random people.

After finishing these, Lin Baicheng took Isabella to his office.

After the two sat down, Lin Baicheng asked aloud, "How is the company's office software selling recently?"

"Sold pretty well."

Isabella was mentally prepared for this question, and replied: "Since you left Los Angeles last time, BOSS, office software has sold 4 sets through official channels, and more than 6 sets have been sold in retail. Official channel companies sold a total of 12 units, and retail sales totaled nearly 22 units."

"Official sales companies have always sold it at $199, but the actual selling price is $149 a set. Retail prices vary from high to low due to inconsistent prices, but the average selling price is around $190 a set."

"The company's current revenue is nearly 6000 million US dollars, and the net profit is about 3500 million to 4000 million US dollars. The company's software was developed in July, and it has been less than half a year now. It can be said that the development is quite fast .”

Judging from the data alone, New Century Software has developed faster than Apple.However, what Apple sells are personal computers and hardware, and the market has to be developed by itself.

What New Century Software Company sells is software, aimed at computer users, and users who can afford computers usually use them for office work in this era, so the sale of office software can be said to be quite easy.What's more, there are no competitors and smooth sailing.

"Very well, Bella, you are doing well."

Lin Baicheng was very satisfied with this, and he said: "Since only our company is selling office software in this market, we should sell more quickly. After we have competitors, the price will definitely drop, and the profit will be huge at that time." down."

In the final analysis, office software does not have very high technology, and R & D ideas are the most important. Therefore, after the office software of New Century Software Company comes out, when a company sees the profits in this market, it will definitely choose to develop office software. At that time, New Century Software The company already has competitors, so don't even think about making money like it is now.

"The overall computer market is still limited. If the computer market does not usher in an explosion in sales, we expect that in about half a year, we will be able to win almost [-]% to [-]% of this market. At that time, the company's revenue and profits will be very high." Hard to grow."

Isabella reported that the computer market is not unlimited. After New Century Software sells almost all of its office software, it will not be able to find customers.

The office software sold by the New Century Software Company is a set of software for a computer, as long as the computer is not broken, it can be used forever.In this era, it is not possible to use an account to log in online, and the network does not support it.

"That is to say, the current revenue limit of this market is more than one hundred million US dollars, and a profit of seventy-eight million US dollars?"

Lin Baicheng nodded involuntarily, but he hadn't thought of this before.

Isabella replied: "The upper limit of revenue and profit will be higher, but it is impossible for us to win the entire market. There will always be organizations and individuals who do not buy our company's office software, but the profit is not less than 8000. Thousands of dollars are still available."

"I believe that more and more people will use computers, so as more and more personal computers, our office software will also sell more and more."

As he said that, Lin Baicheng changed the subject: "However, the growth rate of the personal computer market may not be so fast. Do you have any thoughts on the future development of the company?"

"After the American market is almost completely captured in the first half of next year, I plan to send employees to explore overseas markets. Although the United States is the country that uses the most computers in the world, the combined market of those European countries will never be lower than that of the United States. This is a profit growth point." Isabella said her plan.

Lin Baicheng said approvingly: "It's a good idea to open up overseas markets. I look forward to your performance."

"I will not let you down, Boss."

Isabella solemnly said that she is the manager of New Century Software Company, and the better the company develops, the more it can reflect her ability.

Lin Baicheng asked aloud: "How are Aideen and Peter doing with the expansion and development of database functions? After the office software was developed, I asked them to carry out the research and development. It took nearly half a year. .”

Isabella said: "I'm not familiar with software development. During this time, the company's R&D department has also recruited some talents. They said that the progress is good. The specific progress needs to be checked by the BOSS yourself."

"Well, I'll go and have a look later."

Lin Baicheng nodded. Although he didn't have much time, it would be no problem to check the progress of the research and development, see if there were any mistakes in the direction of the research and development, and give some pointers.

Isabella asked: "Boss, I heard from them that data storage requires a large number of servers. Will the company invest a lot in this area?"

Lin Baicheng nodded: "Yes, data is a good thing. It will be one of the company's main development directions in the future, and a large number of servers will be used by then."

Isabella suggested: "If a large number of servers will be used, the company can actually set up relevant departments, which can save a lot of costs."

"Let's talk about this after the software is developed. After all, it doesn't use too many servers at the beginning. The preciousness of data lies in the future."

Lin Baicheng neither agreed nor objected. After all, the Internet era has not really started yet, and the importance of data is not obvious yet. The database is only the key development direction of the company.

Hearing what Lin Baicheng said, Isabella couldn't help but nodded. It seems that the short-term database is not the company's key business.

Afterwards, Lin Baicheng went to the R&D department to find Edwin Sherland and Peter Roslin to check the progress of database software development.

All day long, Lin Baicheng stayed at New Century Software Company and did not go to other companies.Of course other companies have to go, but there is no rush, take your time, you can go to one in a day.
